Shawn Johnson is Gold Glorious

Shawn Johnson is Gold Glorious

USA gymnast Shawn Johnson came up big on the balance beam and won gold at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing on Tuesday. Her score of 16.225 bested teammate Nastia Liukin who scored 16.025. Cheng Fei of China came in third at 15.95.

The U.S. and China came away as the top two performing countries in women’s gymnastics at this year’s Olympics.

Also pictured below is Nastia Liukin winning her gold medal in the women’s all-around competition last week. Did you know she’s only 5′3″? Her legs make her seem way taller!

FYI: Shawn Johnson is technically a dwarf, coming in at 4′9″ (4′10″ or shorter is the standard).

I’m very very happy for Shawn and Nastia! they’re both the best gymnasts that I never saw after Nadia Comaneci! ^^

TO HARLOW,
THIS STATEMENT IS HIGHLY RACIST. BEFORE LORD OF THE RING THEY WERE CALLED MIDGETS AND IF YOU WANT TO GO THERE, WE SHOULD SAY IT’S LIKE CALLING WHITE PEOPLE WET DOGS

WOAH JARED.
calling her a dwarf? wtf…

Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin are amazing, no matter their height. especially Shawn’s.

and she is not “techincally a dwarf” shes only 16.

Everyone who is saying nastia was pouting and being a bad sport she worked her whole life for this and has a right to be dissapointed or is the world so pc that athletes cant have emotions anymore. And she was a good sport at the podium and in interviews hasnt complained about the result.

People just nitpick to much

Totally agree with you Rebecca. There is nothing wrong with being/looking disappointed. That doesn’t make one a bad sport. Never judge a book by its cover. Anyways, congrats to both Anastasia and Shawn. So glad to know they’re both good friends. It’s too bad some people always gotta hate on one or the other. Both are amazing! End of story.

YAY for Shawn Johnson!!!!

She deserves all the attention she is getting and is definitely a GREAT role model, unlike Cyrus.
